Commercial skip stopped working

Same here except I have a bolt.

How is the connection between your box and your Internet network? I've found that can affect matters.

Are the closed captions OK on those shows since SkipMode keys off of the closed captions? Also, you might try a reboot although probably unlikely to resolve this issue.

What do you mean you see the white marks where the commercials are when fast forwarding? Do you mean the white ticks in the progress bar? Those aren't where commercials are but are just easy ways to move forward in the program quickly (skip to tick).

I have multiple saved one pass recordings where "new" & "skip" show but skip doesn't work. The same program (saved from different date) skip functions perfectly. Seems most not working are recorded 4/18 & 4/19 (so far). Network doesn't seem to matter as happened on CBS & ABC.

The skips points are communicated through the Internet--if there's a poor connection, it may not be possible for the info. to be downloaded. Fortunately, that's at least one cause eliminated here.

 

Not only the OP's connection, but there could be an issue at TiVo servers.

 

Did you ever get an answer or solution?

Perhaps TiVo's "skip recorder" employee for The CW has been on vacation.

 

do you see "to be announced" when you press the button?

 

isn't "channel up" a button?

seriously, it was a very shallow attempt at humor, comparing your issue to the guide update issues premiere and other users are having right now (mine not included, thankfully).

sorry, didn't mean to disrupt your thread or make light of the issue you're having with cw and skip.

 

If you have recordings that say "SKIP" but then don't SKIP, please email margret@tivo.com with the subject "SKIP broken" and the following info:
1. Your TSN
2. Your Zip Code and Cable Company
3. A list of a half-dozen shows that have the SKIP icon, but don't actually SKIP when you press D or CHAN UP. (Show name, Network/Channel info, Recording Date)


If your box has stopped getting any new recordings marked SKIP within the last week, please email margret@tivo.com with the subject "SKIP missing" and the following info:
1. Your TSN
2. Your Zip Code and Cable Company
3. The date of the newest recording that DOES have SKIP.

 

So very nice to see you back! Never used that smilie before, but you're young and cute and I'm old and tired...

Are you also aware of the "FAILED: TCP Port 37" problem?

If not, I can either provide you with LINKs to your E-Mail, or you can SEARCH here yourself. I believe @JoeKustra is the 'Point Person' on the topic FYI...

 

Seems like quite a few are experiencing skip failure Sent Margret list of many programs I've had problems with. I'm hooked up OTA so it's not only happening with cable providers
